These Regulations modify the application of Rule 9 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (“the Takeover Code”).
Rule 9 of the Takeover Code requires, in certain cases, a mandatory offer to be made by a person for the shares of a company. In assessing whether a mandatory offer should be made regard is to be had to the shareholdings of the person and any person acting in concert with that person.
Regulation 2(1) specifies that certain persons are not to be regarded as acting in concert with the Treasury, the Secretary of State, UKFI or with one another.
Regulation 2(2) specifies that the Treasury, the Secretary of State and UKFI are not to be regarded as acting in concert with one another by virtue of their relationship to, or functions in connection with, certain persons.
